Juan Valdez got the award! :)

The Advertising Week, has started in New York and in its opening the results of a survey was presented with more than 200.000 votes our dear JUAN VALDEZ and his "conchita" have been awarded as the icon of the year (beating brands like Mc Donald and Michellin).

If you are asking yourself why I make such a big deal out of this news, the answer is that for a country that gets only recognized by the good quality of ilegal drugs and the terrorist attacks of the guerrilla, news like this are really gratifying as it mean for us that there are people building a different Colombia and are being successful at it, this is the generation that will change our current reality.

Of course in Colombia this news did not pass without being noticed, if you can read spanish check what our media said about it here

Thanks for your votes :)
